I wonder why they don't give Marcell Porter (#34 on your program) a shot at it. He's very quick and has great speed. Plus @ 5'7" X 177 he can initially hid behind a blocking wedge very well.  I know he should be able to field a KO/punt because he caught a pretty long pass in a scrimmage last year.

Wedge is now illegal and can only have a 2 man team that can not link up to form a "wedge" however, I would be willing to be anyone who has any wiggle at all along with break away speed will be given a long look by the new staff.  I really think Littrell doesn't care how big they are as long as they can make plays. 

 

Edit: I think he was getting reps with 2's during a Periscope video I saw unless I am mistaken.

I would have guessed he had more than that.  It seems he had a couple in the K-State game his freshman year alone.

While he didn't return two for touchdowns against K-State, he did have back-to-back games where he returned a kickoff for a touchdown (ULM and Kansas State).  Then he went all the way to the Georgia game before he returned another for a TD.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Well MK, we have been running the damn ball. I believe I'm correct in stating that our leading rusher is Shane Porter, a 186lb WR transfer with (near as I can tell) a bum shoulder from Kansas State. He averages 7.2 yards per carry. McGill averages 5 yards per carry, and occasionally Sibley (#21). None of these guys was a starter in the beginning of the season. We have lost the services of Ragsdale, a very promising D. Harris (#44) who averaged 8.8 yards before he got injured, and Evans (#26) who was averaging 6.4 before he was injured. We have rushed for 1737 yards, and our opponents have put up 2269. Although sometimes it seems like much more. All things considered; I'd say that (except for very short yardage) we were running the ball pretty good. And this doesn't even take into account how many starting linemen we have lost since the first game of the season. What I think would have made almost as much difference as anything for us would have been the presence of 3 or 4 effective run disrupters in the middle of our defense.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      A long time ago, when I was younger and Harry was running this board on a different setup with a guy named "Scotty" -- he just threw his hands up and said "I'M OUT." In my younger and more idealist vision, why would he do that? Why can't UNT be that sleeping giant and be TCU that invigorates their program? I went with @Cerebus to grab some tickets from Scotty since he wasn't going to use them anymore and I could definitely talk someone to use them. He was a normal guy, not angry, not a monster, just a dude. A dude who wanted to use him time and money elsewhere. Still, as an more mature and realist, I still don't know why not UNT. But I get Scotty. This AD is terrible. Moseley and his C-suites are terrible hires. Wren wasn't good. At that VERY least with RV he made the fans like us feel heard and appreciated. RV definitely had his faults and I was not a big fan. Chief Revenue Officer. LOL. General Manager. LOL.

      Stupid post. What you want us to become a craphole like UTA? I question your allegiance for even asking that.

      You make some great points. I am starting to think we need a Doge type of audit of the AD. We have a HUGE AD budget compared to similar AAC schools and are not getting results.

      If it worked at UIW why not here?

      Damn good point. I had not thought of it that way.
